Five sawmills burned at Minneapolis

New Ulm weekly review., 1887-09-14

The North German Gazette of the 5th
inst. says that the policy which is in the
interest of the German Empire and it's
dignity, is that of maintaining peace so
long as it is compatible with honor.
The fact that Germany's peace policy
has for three years past been disturbed
by Bulgaria and it's princes, is not cal
culated to attract the good will of Ger
man politicians. 1t accords with the
interest of the peace-loving and no less
straightforward German nation that
Germany should in the councils of
Europe throw her whole weight into
the scale in order TO have Europe COM
mand peace to ambitious Bulgarian
princes and ministers who are inclined
to set the country in a blaze. Germany
holds firmly to those treaties which
were broken by the princes of Coburg
and Battenberg, not for the sake of
pleasing other powers, but out ofregard
for her own signature. For friyolity
the peace of Europe was placed at stake
through the Coburg- Orleans enterprise.
There is not even the semblance of any
excuse for that enterprise, and it is only
to be explained on the supposition that
the Prince of Coburg is the executor Of
an Orleanist policy.

RAILROAD CARS.
The Life and PrOfitsOf the Average
Latter Day Freight Vehicle.

This is very important subject. and
one which has been somewhat neglected.
When we consider the cost of equipping
a road with cars, the expense to keep
them in repairs, and mileage earned,
we at once have three very important
subjects which involve an enormous
amount of capital. An investigation OF
the subject can not fail to be interest
ing, and we will find some imPortanr
suggestions presented during our ex-
animation. Taking the value OF car
as a basis, its mileage as revenue or
profit and the repairs as expense, we
are sometimes astonished at the vast
ness of the interests Entrusted to our
care. 4 car will cost on an average,
| $500. & road owning l 900 will have
invested $500. 600; road operating TO-
coo will expend s5,000,000 in equipping
itself. etc. During 1882 our manage.
ment required me TO keep an individual
mileage record of each car. AS we were
then in the south interchanglng daily
reports of movements and mileage, l
was able to compile my tables from &C

road; as we before mentioned, secures
Its cars at an immense expense. These
cars are then turned loose OF the coun-
| try and are expected to earn reason
able interest on the investment. We
see at glance what an important de-
partment in railroads this is. The
question then is what is the revenue and
expense involved, and what profit to a
railroad is q car? This, of course, de-
ponds upon the age and condition of the
car. Below l present table showing
the average mileage made by our cars
of various ages, also repairs done, thus
giving the average revenue, expense
and net loss or profit (or original cost
by cars of various ages:
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1887-04-17

1t will be noticed that for the first five
wears cars made good mileage and will
average per cent. profit on the invest
ment but during the next five years the
mileage decreases, repairs increase, and
the net profit is reduced to an average
of 1-6 per cent. This suggests that for
the first five years of cars life 1t is
good Investment. but after that it is not
profitable to run then as aninvestment.
For the five years a car will net y per
cent. on the investment, or about half
paw for itself in mileage. After that II
is almost nip and tuck between mile
age and repairs for the next five years.
The life OF q car depends altogether
upon how long a road is willing to
patch it up with repairs. believe we
have an occasional car nowzin service
which was built twenty years ago, but
I apprehend that very. istle of the
original cars remain. and that it has
been more expensive to keep them up
than il would have been to have des-
troyed them and used the old iron in
the construction of new cars. These
figures prove. 1 think, that mileage at
the rate Of three-fourths OF q cent per
mile is not excessive, and results ouiy
in a fair profit on the Investments.

from eminent authorities abroad has
been remarkable. DR.. Josef Hermann.
head physician of the Imperia; Hospi-
tai, Vienna. writes:
My experience of smallpox during these
Elk years of bedside attendance has given
me the right, or rather has imposed on me
the duty, of taking part in the bold and
spirited onslaught on vaccination which is
now being carried on in Switzerland, Ger
many England and other countries.
y l am convinced that vaccination is the
greatest mistake and delusiOn in the science
or medicine; q fduciful illusion in the mind
of the discOverer: phenomenal appsrition,
devoid of scientific foundation, and want
ing in all the conditions OF scientific posi-
bility.
At Leeds surgeon named Carrie, GER
tilted that child had died from vaccin-
alton. The coroner refused to accept
the certificate, saying, Vaccination is
not legal cause of death" He there
fore ordered the jury to return verdict
of Died by visitation OF God" But il
legal and improper as it may be for a
baby to die of vaccination, the cases are
now so numerous that the false returns
which have been made 80 as not to
alarm parents are no longer possible.
And this especially as it is conceded
that vaccination does not entirely pro-
tect.
Between 1870 and 1878 the number of
smallpox patients in the great hospitals
of Liverpool, Glasgow. Hamerton, Dub
lin and Metropolitan (London,) aggre-
gated %, 465; of these the numGer that
had been vaccinated was II ,056. These
figures are startling enough if read be-
side the life of Jenner. According TO
the statements of Jer1er, and OF many
medical authorities in his time, persons
who had been vaccinated were again and
again ipOculated with the smallpox and
without any effect whatever. These
experiments led to the belief that vacci-
nation was a preventive. That has
been proved a fiction and the plea for
compulsion now is that vaccinated suf-
for more lightly when attacked. But
since this medical tenet follows an an
cient orthodoxy of incubation (now
penaD and modern orthodoxy OF COM
plete immunity, no new theory has any
right to claim Instability. This latest
theory appears also to be mistaken.
The London death-rate has increased
since compulsion. But even if it were
otherwise, the policy of coercion cannot
be sustained in the absence OF any pos
sible security (the matter being uLan-
alyzaOle) from the accompanying perils.
But it is an. interesting question-even a
puzzle-how Jenner's reports can be
made consistent with contemporary
facts.

"Well. my daughter. you will have to
make other selections, remembering
that it is not the cost of present, but
the feeling with which it is given, that
delights the receiver"
Mr.. H couldn't suppress smile
as he mentally run up the probable cost
of the articles mentioned by Grace, and
realized that the sum in her purse would
not pay for any one article; and he must
not add one shilling to her
amount, as the intended lesson in
finances would be wasted. They hur-
ried along, stopping occasionally to adj
until they reached a popular store Sc
lected from which to buy. Upon turn
ing to enter Grace was missed. What
could have become of the child? Surely
she has not become so engrossed with
the sights as to get separated from
them? A glance down the street, and a
few hasty steps brought them to her,
standing with tears in her eyes talking
with little waif. She ran impulsively
to her parents, crying "Oh, mamma and
papa, this poor little girls shoes are
worn out and her bare feet are exposed
to the cold. She has no money with
which to buy them. / have given her a
